The 4 Musketee.... ahem Stormtroopers

The year is 1600000026 and Empire is at it's low end. Rebels led by evil Light Side of Force Jedy master Richeleu seriously threatens to put an end to monarchy and proclaim something called Republic with Richeleu as President....A couple of loyal Stormtroopers is all that good Emperor Louis and Dark Side can count on. The most famous among them is a group called 4 Stormtroopers, consisting of Sith lord Darth Agnan, elite trooper Athos, scout Aramis and heavy trooper Porthos.

I put 4 of my heroes against 10 low cost enemies, and soon I realized that in original document I miss a rule for enemy combined fire.

Therefore, here is my addition to Carsten's rules:

Whenever 2 or 3 characters can combine fire, they will do so. This procedure takes priority over all tie-breaking rules in activation procedure.

First select all characters that will combine fire using normal activation procedure. Then pick the one with the highest damage potential as the main shooter, while all other characters will be considered supporters. Main shooter does not have to be the one who's turn it is to act according to activation procedure.

Since this was my first Star Wars game, and I was not familiar with the tactics, I lost. I sent Darth Agnan forward too soon, did not used all his force points, end eventually he was taken down bit by bit by combined fire. Also, my shooters were eventually defeated by enemy fire. I was able to take down some 50% of rebel forces, but I hoped for more.
I think I will replay the scenario in next few days, this time taking better care of my actions :)
